OVERVIEW
PROLOGUE
This Training Manual covers the next-generation DVD technologies, Blu-ray Disc (BD) and High
Definition DVD (HD DVD), and LG Electronics first generation BD Player, the BH100. The beginning of
this publication discusses the necessary technologies involved for the development of the BH100.
The second half of this publication focuses on the BH100 itself.
Due to printing requirements, this manual actually went to print prior to the release of the LG
BH100 Super Multi Blue Player. Therefore, there may be some details that have changed since the
development of this publication. If there are differences that justify changes to this manual, edits
will be made and available for download from the LG CS Academy website. Visit www.lgcsacademy.com
for training information and www.lglearn.com/BH100 for updated information on this product.
Due to various licensing agreements, as well as, developing product technologies, this manual may
not go into full detail on some of the technologies and technical aspect of the LG BH100 Super Multi
Blue Player. Also note that the phrase is not supported by this first generation model or similar
phrases, may be used to indicate certain aspects or technologies that, at the time of this writing, are
not included in this model but, are currently expected to be supported in the upcoming second
generation model.
There may be some repetition or redundancy in reading this manual. While this publication is to be
used in conjunction with a training class, it is also written to be used as a reference source for
information on Blu-ray Disc technology and/or the LG BH100. therefore, when taken as a whole,
some items may be repeated. However, individual sections may be accessed and used alone and
necessary topics are covered.
NOTE: The letter e is not present in the term Blu-ray. This is intentional in order to add
distinction to the Blu-ray Disc technology.

FORMAT WARS
With two formats competing to become the predominate next-generation DVD format, the consumer
market will witness, and be in the middle of, another format war. The concept of a format war is
not new for the market. The most memorable format war was for dominance in the video cassette
industry, VHS vs. Betamax.
VHS VS. BETAMAX
Format wars often have many battle points and are sometimes decided by unexpected factors. If
the video cassette war was decided on quality, then Betamax (Beta) would have dominated. The
Beta format was considered by many as a better format, providing better picture quality than VHS.
The VHS format initially had more desirable recording aspects than Beta by having longer recording
times. The Beta format was quickly adjusted to meet the same recording requirements.
However, other factors had a stronger influence. The Betamax format was a proprietary technology
while VHS was more widely available. Therefore, VHS technologies and equipment was less expensive
and available to more brands. Consumers simply had more choices of VHS than they did of Beta.
What many consider the end of the format war is the decision of the pornographic movie industry
to market home videos in the VHS format. While this does leave a lasting impression in the war,
it is simply a continuation of the fact that VHS equipment was less costly, both for playback
devices as well as production equipment.
DVD VS. VHS
VHS remained the main choice of consumers for home entertainment even after the introduction of
DVD Players. While DVD Players were first introduced in 1996, they were often considered too
expensive and too high-end by most consumers. However, Sonys introduction of the PlayStation
2 video game console in late 2000 marked a change in DVDs popularity. The enormous success of
the Sony PlayStation (over 100 million units) made the demand for the next version of a PlayStation
high. The PlayStation 2 became the fastest selling gaming console in history. For many people, their
PlayStation 2 was more than simply a game console; it was also their first DVD Player. Shortly
afterwards, prices began to fall on DVD Players and DVDs popularity rocketed past VHS.
The death of VHS did not begin until later. While DVD was the format of choice due to its
improved picture quality and non-linear access, VHS still held a segment of the market due to its
recording abilities. DVD did not become a viable recording option for CE consumers until 2002-
COMPRESSION
The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) is the working group of ISO/IEC in charge of the development
of standards for coded representation of digital audio and video. Established in 1988, the group has
produced MPEG-1, the standard on which such products as Video CD and MP3 are based, MPEG-2, the
standard on which such products as Digital Television set top boxes and DVD are based, and MPEG-4,
the standard for multimedia for the fixed and mobile web. (MPEG-3 is the designation for a group of
audio and video coding standards designed to handle HDTV signals in the range of 20 to 40 Mbps. In
the midst of development, it was determined that similar results were possible with slight modifications
to MPEG-2. Therefore, MPEG-3 was discontinued and never implemented. MPEG-3 should not be
confused with MPEG-1 Part 3 Layer 3, commonly known as MP3.)
As mentioned above, MPEG-1 is the compression format for Video CD and MP3. MPEG-2 is the
compression format used by both DVD and HDTV (ATSC broadcast). While MPEG-2 has six possible
profiles @ four possible levels, it is most often seen in one of three variants; MP@ML (Main Profile@Main
Level) for DVD, and two variants of MP@HL (Main Profile@High Level) for HDTV. DVD allows for
resolutions of 720x480, 704x480, 352x480, or 352x240. The HDTV variants allow for 1920x1080 and
1280x720 resolutions. On the audio side, MPEG-2 expands on MPEG-1s audio compression by allowing
for multi-channel audio.
The fundamental complexities of the MPEG-2 compression format have required that decoders evolve
into basic computers. This over-simplified analogy leads to part of the understanding of the development
of MPEG-4. Since the decoding devices are essentially computers, there is an increased processing
ability; therefore MPEG-4 was developed as a more robust compression format. MPEG-4 improves
upon some of the limitation of MPEG-2, such ad compression artifacts and macro-blocking. The
aspect of MPEG-4 discussed in this manual is MPEG-4 Part 10. This part/version is often referred to as
MPEG-4 AVC (Advanced Video Coding) or as H.264. The main purpose of using MPEG-4 over MPEG-2 is
that MPEG-4 uses much lower bitrates than MPEG-2. MPEG-4 will typically be found in BD and HD
DVD movies and some limited use by DirecTV.
Another compression format to mention is VC-1. VC-1 is the informal name of the SMPTE 421M video
codec. VC-1 uses similar bitrates and resolutions as MPEG-4 and is primarily used by Microsofts

AUDIO FORMATS
There are various formats that audio may be presented for home theaters. These formats will be
briefly discussed in chronological, as well as, technological order. The most basic audio format is
monaural (or mono) sound, which consists of a single audio channel. Mono sound can be presented
with a single speaker (old TV, cassette tape player, simple radio, etc) or with two speakers producing
identical sounds. The next advancement of sound technology came in the form of stereophonic (or
stereo) sound, which consists of two audio channels. Stereo sound was the first format to give depth
to audio by providing both left and right sound fields.
The advent of surround sound began with the deployment of Dolby Pro Logic. The Dolby Pro Logic
format creates multi-channel surround sound by matrixing a center channel from the left and right
stereo signal. The same 2ch stereo is also matrixed into a single mono surround channel, which is
often reproduced with two surround speakers. Dolby Pro Logic processing is performed by a compatible
A/V Receiver. Dolby Pro Logic II is a later format developed as an improvement to the Pro Logic
format that matrixes into the same channels available in Dolby Digital 5.1 (see below) from simple 2
channel stereo sound.

OPERATION
FRONT PANEL
The layout of the BH100 is a very simplistic design. The black piano-like finish can be easily cleaned
with the cloth supplied with the unit. With the lack of a true front bezel, all of the backlit buttons
are contained on the top panel. The POWER button () is a physical button located on the left side.
The remainder of the buttons, OPEN/CLOSE (), PLAY/PAUSE (), STOP (), and RESOLUTION (), are
touch-sensitive and located on the right side of the unit. As with most all LG Zenith DVD Players,
that do not include a VCR, the Disc Tray () is center-mounted. The IR Receiver () and Display Panel
() are located on the right side of the front.
n o p q r
s t u
Powering on the unit will cause the POWER button and LG Logo to light up, followed by the remainder
of the buttons lighting up from left-to-right. The Display Panel will scroll PLEASE WAIT while the
unit is powering up. In about 30 seconds from the initial power request, the unit will be fully booted.
After approximately another 10 seconds the backlights for the buttons will turn off, leaving the LG
Logo on as a power-on indicator.
NOTE: The control buttons are touch-sensitive and must not be pressed with force. A light touch
by a finger is all that is required to activate the button. Using objects other than human
fingers, such as pointing devices, discs, etc, may not activate the button(s) or cause
undesirable results.
TIP: By default, a slight chime, or beep sound, is played when a button is activated to alert the user
that the button request has been received. This can be disabled within the User Menu.
TIP: The control buttons can be disabled using the LOCK command from the Remote Control. When
the LOCK function is activated, LOCK ON will be shown on the Display Panel anytime a control
button is pressed on the unit. Simply pressing the LOCK button on the Remote Control will turn this
function on or off.
Example of Use:
English selected Display Menu
Espaol selected Idioma del Men
Franais selected Langage affichage
The Disc Menu, Disc Audio, and Disc Subtitle options are to change the default languages of disc
inserted into the player. Any languages selected within these options must be present on the disc,
otherwise the discs default language will be used.
AUDIO MENU Audio Menu
The Audio Menu allows you to set the BD
Players audio outputs to match the features
of the equipment it is connected to, as well
as other sound options.
SPDIF (DIGITAL AUDIO OUTPUT)
Select [Bitstream] if you connect one of
the BD Players DIGITAL OUT jacks to an
A/V Receiver with Dolby Digital and DTS
decoders.
Select [PCM] if you connect the BD Player
to a two-channel A/V Receiver or TV. Discs encoded in Dolby Digital or DTS will be automatically
down-mixed to two-channel PCM audio.
NOTE: Disc buttons sounds on some BD-ROM menus may not be heard if the [Bitstream] setting
is selected.
NOTE: The BH100 can not decode DTS-HD audio that can be found on some HD DVD discs. To
pass DTS-HD audio to an A/V Receiver with a DTS-HD decoder, select the [PCM] option.
